Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0962344A2] An air conditioning conduit assembly for use in confined spaces such as the instrument panel of an automobile eliminates dripping from condensing warm ambient air by coating a conduit (12) with a superabsorbent material (22) which absorbs condensation and promotes evaporation, thereby retarding dripping from the conduit (12) for an extended period of several hours. The superabsorbent material (22) may be adhered to the conduit (12) by means of an adhesive or moulded in situ in a blow moulding process. <IMAGE>
